Antimicrobial skin peptides and proteins

Human skin is permanently exposed to microorganisms, but rarely infected. One reason for this natural resistance might be the existence of a ‘chemical barrier’ consisting in constitutively and inducibly produced antimicrobial peptides and proteins (AMPs). Many of these AMPs can be induced in vitro by proinflammatory cytokines or bacteria. Apart from being expressed in vivo in inflammatory lesions, some AMPs are also focally expressed in skin in the absence of inflammation. This suggests that non-inflammatory stimuli of endogenous and/or exogenous origin can also stimulate AMP synthesis without inflammation. Such mediators might be ideal ‘immune stimulants’ to induce only the innate antimicrobial skin effector molecules without causing inflammation.

Olfactory ensheathing cells are attracted to, and can endocytose, bacteria

Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) have been shown previously to express Toll-like receptors and to respond to bacteria by translocating nuclear factor-kappaB from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. In this study, we show that OECs extended significantly more pseudopodia when they were exposed to Escherichia coli than in the absence of bacteria (p=0.019). Co-immunoprecipitation showed that E. coli binding to OECs was mediated by Toll-like receptor 4. Lyso-Tracker, a fluorescent probe that accumulates selectively in lysosomes, and staining for type 1 lysosome-associated membrane proteins demonstrated that endocytosed FITC-conjugated E. coli were translocated to lysosomes. They appeared to be subsequently broken down, as shown by transmission electron microscopy. No obvious adherence to the membrane and less phagocytosis was observed when OECs were incubated with inert fluorescent microspheres. The ability of OECs to endocytose bacteria supports the notion that OECs play an innate immune function by protecting olfactory tissues from bacterial infection.

Schistosome vaccines

Summary Schistosomiasis control currently relies primarily on chemotherapy which is both expensive and temporary. There is an urgent need for an effective vaccine. Studies in animal models and man have demonstrated the existence of protective immunity. Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity mechanisms involving eosinophils and macrophages have been implemented in destruction of the parasites. Antigens expressed on the surface of the schistosomulum are among the targets of protective immune responses. Vaccines comprising recombinant antigens are now being tested in vivo for their capacity to evoke protective responses. Live oral vaccines based on attenuatedSalmonella expressing schistosomular surface antigens are being developed.     

纳米载药体系在肿瘤耐药治疗中的应用研究进展

肿瘤是目前引起人类死亡的棘手疾病之一,虽然通过各种现代化治疗手段使肿瘤患者的预后得到了一定程度的改善,但多药耐药依然是导致肿瘤治疗效果不佳的主要难题。纳米材料是近年来的研究热点之一,具有EPR（enhanced permeability and retention）效应、可控修饰、靶向性等众多优点,在突破肿瘤耐药方面得到了愈来愈多的关注。纳米载药体系在肿瘤治疗中发挥着极其重要的作用,可以成为逆转肿瘤耐药的新方式。从肿瘤多药耐药机制、纳米技术在肿瘤耐药中的应用等方面进行综述。指出今后可在以下方面展开深入研究：1）结合肿瘤耐药机制研究,合理控制药物浓度,克服耐药;2）深入探索纳米载药体系的生物安全问题,优化纳米载药系统,使其避免或降低可能出现的毒副反应,为逆转肿瘤耐药提供更全面的理论依据;3）结合免疫学、光动力学、声动力学等多种方法,提高纳米载药体系逆转肿瘤耐药的效率。
